eukaryotic genes have a relatively complicated structure that includes additional components beyond the coding sequence. Transcribed mRNA preceding the start codon is necessary for the attachment of the ribosomes that translate the mRNA. Untranslated mRNA is also present after the stop codon. In addition...
The sugar puckers and glycosidic torsions have been determined by inspecting the relative inten- sities of the intranucleotide NOEs and COSY crosspeaks. At low electrolyte concentration (100 mM NaCl) the molecule exists as a right-handed duplex with twelve Watson-Crick base-pairs and deoxyribose...
Experimental factors have been examined and optimal conditions for obtaining high yields of the sugar have been determined. After acid hydrolysis of the treated compounds, the extent of release of the free ribose and deoxyribose has been measured by their specific colourimetric reactions as well as ...
The sequence d(T5mCC) forms two tetramers in comparable proportions. The intercalation topologies are read off the two patterns of (amino proton)-(sugar proton) cross-peaks: one is the same as in the d(TCC) tetramer, the other has the intercalated strands shifted by one base, which ...
The building block, or monomer, of all nucleic acids is a structure called a nucleotide. A nucleotide has three parts: phosphate, deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogen base.There are four different nucleotides that make up a DNA molecule, each differing only in the type of nitrogenous base. ...
These two domains correspond to the dRP lyase and polymerase activities which are responsible for the removal of the sugar phosphate group and the incorporation of new deoxyribonucleotides, respectively16. Mutations that affect the dRP lyase or polymerase activity17–20 of pol β have been ...

In ancient Rome, it is written that students would use sprigs of rosemary in school to enhance memory and learning. They may have been on to something. Rosemary contains aromatic compounds that increase blood flow to the brain simply by inhaling them!
Conformational changes between the ligand-free and ligand-bound states suggest that the dATP binding at the allosteric site increases turnover and affinity for the dGTP substrate by driving a conformational change of an active-site loop that recognizes the substrate 2′-deoxyribose moiety.
